Description
The setJobName and getJobName methods in RasterPrinterJob do set and get
a text string that represents a jobname, however I have looked through the
source for both Solaris and Win32 and can find no use of these methods. Testing
this on both platforms the only name I see is the doc title and no job name

The javadoc output doesn't make it clear that these methods do not affect
the print output




java full version "JDK-1.2.1-A"

The setJobName method of PrinterJob does not appear to have an effect on the actual printer job name as it appears in the printer queue (or anything else that uses it). It seems to always be "Java Printing".

The getJobName method however does return the new name as set in setJobName.

I was hoping to see the job name appear in my
Windows printing queue dialog under the document
title field but alas it only shows "Java Printing"
for every Java document.

Same comment as above. All I ever get in the queue
is the name "Java Printing". It's things like this
that make the migration to Java harder than it should
be. When can we expect a fix for this. I tried 1.2.2
release candidate and it fails there still.
